Is there anything "strange" about zsh as ksh in 5.3 on the Alpha?
(or maybe with the term configurations ... TERM=xterm-color or vt100)
I'm trying to stick a newline in my prompt.
With "set -x" on, the prompt string displays correctly as a two line
prompt.
However, after being set, the actual screen prompt displays only the
second
line; as if the newline is being eaten by termio. ("set" displays the
prompt,
PS1, correctly as a 2 line prompt.)
I'm evoking zsh as ksh from /etc/passwd as my login shell.
The prompt string works as expected (2 line output) in ksh under Tru64.
T.T.F.N.
